Seven reasons to buy the Nokia Lumia 920

The Nokia Lumia 920
was shown off in New York last week and after checking out all of the
coverage, I can say without a doubt that I will be purchasing one as
soon as they are released. The color I choose will depend on which
carrier(s) in the US get the high end Lumia, but with three carrier
contracts I know at least one of my carriers will get the device. Based
on just what we know so far, Microsoft was very tight lipped about
Windows Phone 8, I have seven main reasons I think the Lumia 920 is the
device for me.

Reason one: PureMotion HD+ display

The Nokia Lumia 900 has a ClearBlack display and some testing earlier this year revealed that the Lumia 900 has a better outdoor display
than the iPhone 4S and Galaxy S. Nokia is now taking that ClearBlack
display technology to the next level and showed us all their PureMotion
HD+ technology that looks to be the leading display on smartphones
today.
The PureMotion HD+ display automatically adjusts to sunlight glare,
has those gorgeous deep blacks, provides super smooth scrolling through
pixel translation speeds that are 2.5x faster than other phones, and
works with fingernails, fingertips, and fingers covered with gloves.
Yes, you can use your Nokia Lumia 920 in winter with gloves on without
needing anything special in the gloves or any other gimmick. This new
display just works and does so in nearly any environment you need. I
recommend you read the white paper on the display (PDF link) to learn more about the technology.

Reason two: PureView camera technology

The Nokia 808 PureView
sets the bar for all camera phones and really stands alone. Nokia's
Lumia 920 doesn't have as much of that amazing technology, but it still
has been shown to be an outstanding camera and when the device gets out
of the prototype stage you can bet that reviewers will thoroughly test
the camera. Nokia has an interesting white paper
(PDF link) on the details of the camera technology used in the Lumia
920. As Nokia states this is the second phase in PureView technology and
includes some of the core pieces such as high performance Carl Zeiss
optics and powerful image processing algorithms. Low light performance
is a major feature in this new camera, along with video image
stabilization.

Reason three: Nokia Maps

Nokia Maps is the best service
Nokia has ever offered and I use it on several different platforms. I
love the functional offline maps and GPS navigation features in Nokia Maps Drive
on my Lumia 900 and in the Lumia 920 Nokia improves that experience by
rolling in several of the utilities that you can get now on the Lumia
900 and is taking Nokia Maps offline as
well. You will find offline map support with free turn-by-turn
navigation, daily commute and local traffic reports, Nokia Transport for
public transit schedules, and Nokia City Lens for augmented reality
discovery.

Reason four: Windows Phone 8

I would probably have placed this higher in my list if Microsoft
would have allowed Nokia to actually show it off, but it seems Microsoft
is running a bit behind on the software so manufacturers are not able
to give demos yet. We have seen eight new platform improvements
coming in Windows Phone 8 and there are still many details remaining to
be revealed. I look forward to seeing what Nokia does with NFC since
they have been using it well on their Symbian devices and accessories.
The new Start screen looks fantastic for the way I use my Windows Phones
and WP8 just cannot get here fast enough for me.

Reason five: Qi wireless charging

I know this is not a huge feature, but it is something unique that
distinguishes the Nokia Lumia from other Windows Phone 8 devices. I
really appreciated the convenience of Qi charging with my Droid Charge
and have been hoping there would be another manufacturer using this
standard so I could pull out my pad and use it again. Nokia showed off several accessories
that take advantage of this wireless charging technology and I am
excited to try some out. The partnership deals with coffee shops is
excellent and I hope we see more of these moving forward too.

Reason six: Nokia Music

Nokia Music
just launched late last week for US Lumia owners and I have been using
it every day since then. I am working on an article comparing it to the
Zune Pass and other subscription services, but the big deal here is that
it is FREE for Lumia owners. If you enjoy music, then getting a free
service like this can provide significant regular savings to your
smartphone ownership costs.

Reason seven: Color selection

Again, this may not mean much to many people, but I personally like
having color options for my devices and plan to purchase the yellow
Lumia 920 as long as it is supported on one of my carriers. Even if
Nokia doesn't sell a ton of the yellow models, I think bold colors like
this will help get people into the stores and generate conversation
around the device, which is exactly what Nokia needs to do to gain
marketshare.
Nokia looks to be doing everything possible to help Windows Phone
succeed and make sure they are around to compete in the smartphone
space. I don't know what else people were expecting from Nokia or
Windows Phone 8, but in my opinion they went above my expectations with
unique features such as the amazing display and Qi wireless charging.

Usually the size and the purpose. The period of time sometimes distinguishes the name.Modern navy combat ships are generally divided into seven main categories. The categories are: Aircraft Carriers, Battleships, Cruisers, Destroyers, Frigates, Submarines, and Amphibious assault ships. There are also support and auxiliary ships, including the minesweeper, patrol boat, and tender. During the age of sail, the ship categories were divided into the ship of the line, frigate, and sloop-of-war. Frigate is a name which has been used for several distinct types of warships at different times. It has referred to a variety of ship roles and sizes. From the 18th century, it referred to a ship smaller and faster than a ship-of-the-line, used for patrolling and escort work rather than fighting fleet actions. In modern military terminology, the definition of a frigate is a warship intended to protect other warships and merchant marine ships and as anti-submarine warfare (ASW) combatants for amphibiou…
